Pardon my resurrection of this thread, but I just found out about MIDIGuitar about an hour ago, so I went to their website to check it out. The website is still up, but all links I was able to find to d/l the 0.9 beta are now broken. I'm getting "Address not found" messages for their entire URL jam-o.com. And I'm getting a "Not Found" message stating "The requested URL /midi-guitar/vst.html was not found on this server." So they've brought down jam-o.com and they've gotten rid of, or blocked access to the directory /midi-guitar/ .
At first I thought they were rolling up the carpets and about to take the sign down. Now, I'm thinking that they've ended the beta testing, but they haven't announced it yet. Does this sound about right to you? I mean it's been in beta now for over a year, hasn't it? And didn't one of the developers say that 0.9.1 was a real game changer, or words to that effect? So 0.9.2 might have been a maintenance release, just tidying things up in preperation for 1.0. Possibly?
Dang it. I sure would like to get my hands on 0.9.2 so I could try it out before buying the licensed edition. Anybody here wanna share? If it works as well as people say it does, I've got a YouRock MIDI guitar controller here that I just bought and I might just exercise my 30-day return privilege on it. Even if I have to buy a copy of MIDIGuitar, I'd still be saving $180. But I sure would like to be able to try it out first.
Hey, there's a guy named David Wallimann who is in one of the links that y'all provided, who was trying out a beta copy of it. The recording was posted on December 20th, last year. So he was probably trying an early version of 0.9, I'm guessing? Of course, he's all jazzed about it and his playing sounded really nice too. He mentions toward the end of his video that the beta comes with only a single soft synth and that it has only one voice -- piano. He says you can use this synth for as long as you like, but that if you load in a different soft synth, it will work, but you're restricted to only one minute of playing. Is this the way the beta has been working for y'all too?
Oh, the Jam Origins folks were participating in that discussion thread also and they posted a link to a "huge discussion" that's been going on over at the KVR forums about it. Here's that link:
http://www.kvraudio.com/f...torder=asc&start=0 I guess you could say it's still going on too. Last post was on October 14th. I've just joined up over there at KVR and I think I'll post a note asking about the links being down.
